Chapter 135: The Interceptor
"What is the origin of that team, have you found out?" In a slightly dark conference room, several people were discussing something.
"The exact origin is unknown. It is only known that the main combat force of the team has a total of about 50 people, and there are some non-combat forces. The captain of the team seems to be very young. This team, as if out of thin air, the earliest record is in Shuiqing City, helping to relieve the siege of the city on all sides. After that, a total of 12 large and small cities were passed, and each city had a record of assisting in the siege. In addition, there were several large cities, and they helped train the team, all according to the new formation, and the combat capability was greatly improved. The most important thing is that, according to legend, when this team enters the city, they all land from the air. A man dressed in gray sat on the side, reporting respectfully.
"Landing in the air...... Now among the besieging beasts, there are quite a few aerial and anti-air capabilities, how can they achieve this? Have your people been to these cities?" asked the most seated man.
"Been to a part. It is not clear how exactly it will land in the air. Moreover, there are no second cities, it seems that they don't want the outside world to know too much information about them, either they deliberately conceal it, or they just leave to explain. The man in gray handed over a list with the names of the cities he had visited. "Since time is limited and our movements are easy to detect, I am always careful. Recently, they have watched a little more closely, and sent out ten scouts, none of whom have not returned. ”
"Where is this team going?" asked the man in the seat.
"From what we know so far, it's the city of Bugalo. ”
"The city of Bugalo, close to the northern border, what are you going to do there? It's just an ordinary city, no minerals, no resources, nothing else special. A hundred years ago, we also considered abandoning that city. ”
"The current intelligence is not clear. ”
The person sitting in the audience sighed, "How is the situation on Murong's side now?"
"It's hard to know for sure. Now, the number of besieging beasts is still increasing, and in the first few major battles, the soldiers in the city have suffered great losses, and it is difficult to break the siege with the strength of our city alone. However, other military stations were also trapped, and it was difficult to reinforce them for a while. As for Murong, the guards under his control were all guards in the city before, and they did not lose a single bit. Although there are actions to monitor us and actual actions have been taken, it is unlikely that a major action will be carried out in the short term. ”
"How much power do we have at our disposal?" the person in the audience was silent for a long time, and finally spoke.
"Outside the city, there are two reserve underground stations, with a total of 900 reserve troops each. ”
"Send one, go and invite them. ”
The gray-clothed man was obviously stunned, "However, our current core strength is less than two thousand people, and as soon as one of them goes out, it will inevitably attract Murong Fang's attention, in case they find out, I am afraid that it will ......."
"Don't worry. Murong Fang is now mobilizing external forces, and he also has difficulties. And, like me, they're sure to notice this squad too. If the rumors about the squad are true, and we can bring in this team, the crisis will be solved. ”
The man in gray still seemed to be a little hesitant, but the person in the audience seemed to be out of mind, and waved his hand, "Go ahead." Do it right away. ”
...............................................................................................................
Day forty-two.
Wan Peng came out of the village, and it was already the forty-second day. From the map, they had already covered two-thirds of the distance, and in about fifteen days, after passing through three cities, and without encountering any strong obstacles, they could reach the city of Bugalo.
Forty-two days is not a small number. If it is just to live peacefully, maybe forty-two days is a short time. Just like when Wan Peng was at the outer gate of Lingyun Mountain, needless to say, forty-two days and four months passed quickly.
But now, every day seems like a long time. The further north they got, the more threats they posed in the air, and it was almost impossible for them to fly too long distances. In order to facilitate walking, Wan Peng practiced and also learned the physical skills of these people. In a certain sense, the cultivation of physical skills is faster than the cultivation of spiritual power, so on the basis of his originally good foundation, he can now reach the middle and lower level of the team in terms of body and speed.
And his spiritual cultivation, in these days, has also broken through the sixth layer of the foundation, and there are signs of development to the seventh layer. But even so, Liyang urged him from time to time, saying that he would take advantage of the good aura environment here to step up his cultivation, but this progress was still too slow.
Wan Peng himself knows it. They were mostly in a hurry now, and without enough time to rest, his cultivation would not be able to speed up. However, this is the reality. When you don't have this kind of environment, you can soak in cultivation all day long. There is an environment, but there is a powerless heart.
As for Zhou Tian, the effect of cultivating here is not as good as that in the Xuanxiao Floating Cloud Continent. The spiritual energy is abundant, and it is relatively easy to adjust the spiritual power in the body, and there is an inverse relationship between spiritual consciousness and spiritual power. But even so, his micro-knowledge Zhou Tian still rose to the level of about three and a half layers.
In addition to cultivation, the most growth is actual combat experience. During this period, they experienced more than 20 battles, large and small, most of which were collective battles, and under the deep command of Liyang, Wan Peng had some command experience, but some of them were his solo battles. During the battle, he focused on using hexology, and Liyang's evaluation was that he was almost ready to practice new hexology now.
But Wan Peng didn't want to practice so soon. There are one hundred and four kinds of demon arts, which are far more complicated than his own magic and sword techniques, and he seems to be able to comprehend these four at present, so it is good to practice more. Liyang didn't force him, and said, after all, demonism was created by demons, and it was always difficult for cultivators to achieve maximum power.
It was nearly noon, and Wan Peng ordered the team to rest in an open area. The Thunderbird routinely performs aerial warning missions, because in the air, the situation can be detected far away than when they are on the ground.
"There's a team approaching in front of the left. The Fire Thunderbird King conveyed the news to Wan Peng, "There are about 1,200 or 300 people, the speed is very fast, the origin is unknown, and the target is unknown. ”
Wan Peng didn't ask much, just said he understood. These days, they have encountered quite a few teams, although this is the first time in the thousands. In this era, which can be said to be the end times, not only some villages have moved from village to village, but also some cities have been dispatched from the whole city. Of course, piles of bones can sometimes be found on the road.
When most teams meet, as long as they are not hostile, they do not offend each other. In addition, there are very few teams that are in the same direction, and each has a different purpose. Especially the further north you go, the fewer people there are, and even if there is a team, you go south. After all, the temperature in the north is much cooler than in the south, and the comfort is a little worse.
"This team is organized, like an army. "After a while, the Fire Thunderbird King reported again. "The action is very unified, not villagers or city dwellers. The direct direction seems to be us. They should have spotted us as well, but had no intention of sending a message or contact. Now the distance is twenty miles. ”
Wan Peng looked at his team and saw that it was fully rested, and while telling the Fire Thunderbird to continue monitoring, he ordered the team to set off. Come on, you come to yours, we will go ours, do not interfere with each other, get out of the way of this road, and save other troubles.
Wan Peng's team is not slow now. Moreover, the preparation time from rest to departure is extremely short, and if it is evaluated by outsiders, it is absolutely excellent.
After walking out of the half-pillar incense kung fu, the fire thunderbird reported again: the opposing team divided into two roads, all the way to their front, and the road seemed to be interspersed from the side to their rear.
A wave of doubt flashed in Wan Peng's heart. If it is an ordinary team, there is no need to move forward in this form at all. Unless, this team wants to surround them!
I think that once when I encountered a wild beast, the beast also traveled in this way. Eventually, the beast surrounded the team.
Liyang is also reminded in the inner world, "Pay attention, the team is not good." ”
Wan Peng glanced in the direction the team was coming from, and immediately gave the order to assemble the battle formation and advance in battle formation.
At the mention of battle, his team was now in high spirits. They don't kill them, but after each battle, there will be a new experience in a certain battle formation, and their combat power will be greatly improved.
In troubled times, what could be more exciting than improving combat power?
There are still five miles.
The two teams did not stop, and one of the opposing teams had already stopped on the road that Wan Peng had to pass through, and the distance was only a mile away. Wan Peng ordered the team to stop advancing and go into defensive mode. After a while, the other half of that team really cut in from behind, and docked with the team in front of it to surround Wan Peng's team.
A team of about 1,200 people, surrounding a team of just over 100 people, looked like a beast trapped in a cage.
The opposing team's ranks are indeed armies. All of them were dressed in the same way, leather armor, metal armor for key parts, formations, and the same weapons in each squad.
Wan Peng doesn't remember how he crossed paths with the military. Although they passed a few cities, they only came into contact with the convoys. The real army is to be in the hands of the administrative organs, and it is to be arranged at various points in the form of military stations, and the strength of each military station varies from one force to another.
Before, it is estimated that Wan Peng's team will panic. However, after so many days of tempering, everyone's mind is already very strong, so it seems that there is more than abnormal calm.
After a while, a person walked by in the opposing team, his clothes were slightly different from those of others, and he looked redder, and the metal helmet on his head was also decorated with red tassels. He looked at Wan Peng's team, as if looking for something, but finally only said in a somewhat muted voice, "Let your leader come out and speak." ”
His tone was brutal and rude, not polite at all, but more contemptuous and disdainful, as well as hidden inadequacy. The disgust in Wan Peng's heart gradually rose, and not long ago, Xie Ting said a sentence in the message to Wan Peng, "You arrive as soon as possible", which also made Wan Peng's heart numb, Xie Ting's situation must be even worse. So, now that someone is in the way, this reverse love of his suddenly works.
Wan Peng stepped forward in a few steps, did not salute, and asked coldly, "I am the captain of this team." What's the matter with you?"
